"But that's not new. The biggest names in education in America with whom
I've corresponded (with perhaps one exception) appear to read the words
but attach no meaning to them. They either just blank out, or focus on
some peripheral aspect of my argument, or, through elaborate mental
contortions, decide that I'm merely echoing what Dewey or Counts or some
other theorist said decades ago. (My brother tells me they're carrying so
much baggage they haven't a free hand to pick up anything more.)"

Isn't it most exasperating when you have the answer and no one will
listen? Doesn't it drive you almost to Witt's End? Could the basis for the
dilemma possibly be somewhere you have not yet looked?
